    oops -- typo
    Fingers are not working today. Sorry. :(
    Oops....typo alert!
    That should have been "to do radiology reports" not "to radiology reports."  My proofreading skills are on standby, I guess.
    Oops! I just noticed a typo. Does anyone know of any....sorry about that.

    Read a boring book or watch something boring on TV.
    Sometimes I go to bed so tired, but by the time I get in bed I'm not sleepy.  I do one of the above and 15 minutes later I'm asleep.   My DH works third shift so he isn't there for me to bother him, may not be an option for you. 
    FWIW, nasty is in the eye of the beholder and you have given nasty as good as you got.
    Read your posts again very carefully.
    "Boards on the Left"
    I dont' have any boards on the left.  All I have are "Top", "Home", and "Contact" which stay on the left and scroll with me.  If I go to "Home", I get a list of boards but not all of which are mentioned in posts, such as "Easter" and "States".  Why am I missing boards, and how can I get "boards on the left".  Thank you for your time!!
    BORING!!!
    Sand or tan walls, okay, if you want drab and boring go with sand and tan walls
    Might be boring but
    I'll take boring over nasty any day.  I guess to each his/her own.
    They are boring -
    :(
    It's no more boring than anything else.

    MT will always be boring....
    because it is a dead end job with no future.  Try studying something that will provide a better living.
    BORING...

    Not boring!
    I have to say that it's not boring! I learn something new every day, even after doing this for 20 years. I think if you look at other professions other folks are griping too. It's all a matter of attitude! Make it work for you! It does pay the bills!
    Not a big fan, went there twice & boring.

    board might be boring that way though

    But the work is boring . . . (sm)
    Easy but boring clinic notes. Seems most of the accounts are clinics instead of "real" acute care transcription. Pay is low, too. Seems like really nice people, though -- they did everything they said they would when they said they would. That's rare!
    by boring I mean very repetitive...
    but easy to normalize.  They use these tables for different degrees of muscle movement and stuff.  Maybe you could get a sample from one of the other MT websites.
    I agree that PT is boring. sm
    When I worked in-house, we had to rotate days of doing PT notes, one day a week. Those days of doing PT notes seemed to never end. You may end up enjoying it, but I get bored easily and PT is very repetitive.
    When they have bad/boring shows
    it seems like there are new bottom 3 people chosen.  I thought Mandisa had a good voice, but country was not her best (as the case for many of them).  Also, poor song choice.  Next week they sing Queen songs.  I've been recording the shows because they're just not as good as they have been.  I think Paula needs to cut down on her medication.  She's beginning to slurrrrrr her words again.
    Boring account
    I've just been taken off my favorite work type and put on an extremely boring account.  Lots of work but it is so dull.  How can I keep my productivity up when I am yawning through these reports?  I am quickly losing my incentive to stay at the keyboardj!  Help!  Any ideas?  TIA
    Boring reports
    I did a 45-minute dictation the other day, which mostly consisted of the doctor saying, "Uh, um."  LOL He was doing a review of records halfway through, reading them to himself as he went. I had to sit there listening to the silence! It really stinks too, because those pauses translate to less typing, which means a lower check for my aggravation.
    Boring Account
    When I get a boring account, I try to make as many abbreviations as I can and that helps the account go faster and keeps your mind on what new abbreviations you can make up (for your short cuts)
    yawn - your tit-for-tat is more boring than your
    <<<<>>>>>> got coffee?
    But don't you think editing is boring? I would -- (nm)
    .
    I find myself doing it if a particularly boring

    long report or when I'm tired.  I frequently nod off because I'm so tired and then end up having to relisten to the port at least once more, sometimes up to 4 times because I keep nodding off.  My QA score is very high so I'm catching the errors, but my line count sucks.  If I'm not tired I'm okay.  I've worked 7 days/week the last 5 months and it is just hard to sit day after day and type/transcribe.


    If your mind wonders go back and relisten to the entire dictation.  If you find lots of errors, even minor ones, maybe that will help you focus more.  If you need a nap, get a power nap.  If you need to do some physical activity get up and do it.  I work split shift as there is no way I could sit for 8 hours straight.  I get up every 1-1/2 to 2 hours and do something to break the monotony. 


    I think clinic notes are boring, you have the same

    number of doctors usually and for the most part there isn't a lot of medical terminology and they have lots of normals, which is good because they you can have lots of macros/expanders to help, but I like learning from my dictation.  With clinic notes I did know when viruses/illnesses were going around and what the standard treatment was, so I could try some of the same treatments if we got sick without a doctor visit, just after a while they were just boring.  I much prefer acute care. I have lots of dictators so I don't get sick of hearing one doctor all day, although occasionally I do get a slew of the same dictator, the terminology is constantly changing, new drugs, new equipment, new procedures, etc.


     


    Rehab is good. Might get a little boring to some
    Rehab i
    Easy but boring. Only thing I will ask sm
    not to do. Also, there is the ---- factor with the doctor wannabes.
    I wouldn't care if the job were boring, if

    doctors would learn to dictate and give a flying flip in the wind how hard they are to transcribe day after day. If they had to transcribe their own dictations (or another physician's dictation) they might do better. So, it's not so much the boring part, it's the goof ball dictators who make my job miserable.


    I feel the same and I find them truly boring.
    And nowadays you are lucky to get the same MDs twice at most large nationals and most are ESL, so the money maker thing is becoming a thing of the past. I get mostly OPs but would take a good challenging consultation over a boring OP anytime! I don't know how anyone could like doing OPs long term. For me that would get old real fast.
    Let me see, VR versus straight, which is boring?
    Hmmmmm, I don’t think so. I have had majority straight today and really do not like anymore- can fly when I have VR and make $$$$- straight only slows me down and like the bumper sticker I saw the other day- I am not speeding, I am qualifying! Loved that.
    Ugh - 42 minutes of that boring junk.
    Do they really think anybody is going to read all of that? Didn't any English teacher ever tell him the secret to good writing is LESS IS MORE??

    How lazy not to be able to shorten it up to something brief yet complete. Shame on him. You poor thing.
    meh, you're boring me now {{yawwwnn}}.

    But the help file is so long and boring to read.
    I know about linking and hiding the suggestion window. Other than that, I don't know many semicolon or Ctrl functions. I put hospitalization in as hosn. I wish somebody would teach a Shorthand Expander class or come up with an in-depth book going over specific SH features. The other expander books I bought were lame.
    Chris is a boring one-trick pony. (nt)

    They are boring but easy, and you can make a lot of money. nm

    Agree, totally boring! My least favorite for sure.

    I do agree with the boring part, but I handle it like I do
    Drink beer and eat chocolate!!

    I'm joking, of course...

    The only thing that keeps me MTing is the money (I'm in that 4 to 5K/month bracket), the convenience, and the fact that I don't think I could ever work with people again after being at home for so long (a conference call with other MTs a couple weeks ago sealed that one for me!).

    I am not complaining. MTing has been VERY good to me (not a gift, though... I work hard and have good work ethics), but as far as being rewarding as a work experience only, it's really not for me personally.

    ...BUT I do like being able to afford my beer and chocolate!! ;-)
    after being nasty, now you want to
    know which office? I think not, to tell YOU.
    Nasty, not me!!!
